We’ve had the privilege of working with so many inspiring authors and novelists. Check out their work below!
Author of Monterrey Bay (Penguin)
“Jules is basically a fiction editing ninja. His knowledge of craft—from broad, foundational concepts to genre-specific considerations—is unparalleled. Every time he's given me feedback on my work, I've felt invigorated and empowered to make my writing the best it can be. Jules’ eye is keen and his heart is true and his guidance is transformative.”
Author of The Kingdom of Ohio (Putnam)
“Jules’ insight into the nuances of character, structure, and pacing, and his techniques for approaching these core issues as a writer, are a game-changer. His deep, nuanced, and articulate input was instrumental in the publication of my first novel; I can’t recommend Jules highly enough.”
Author of Izzy + Tristan (Little, Brown)
“Writers of all levels can benefit from Jules’ excellent editing services. His feedback has been invaluable for me, particularly in terms of plot and structure. Comments from Jules strike that near-impossible balance: detailed and specific enough to give you real direction, yet elastic and generous enough to give you complete control over the process of revision. Feedback like this can only come from someone who believes in the importance of art, and you can read in every line his investment in seeing more fully realized pieces of writing in the world.”

Jules is a seasoned professional whose expert guidance and suggestions helped take my manuscript to the next level. He's had decades of experience on both sides of the lines, as a published author and as a teacher, coach and editor of other authors. His knowledge of the industry, his insights into craft and his friendliness and availability made me wish he was my editor at a publishing house that had bought my book. Can't wait to work with him again in the future.

Jules is kind, positive with his words without diluting them, and very honest with what serves the story you're telling versus taking away from that same story. Jules is a master story architect; he can give you the pulse of your story at any point in the manuscript and can point you due north at any time. I courted several editors before settling with Jules, and let me tell you—I'M GLAD I DID. If your story is a good one, it deserves a good editor, a great one—and that's Jules.
—Seven S., author of ZEROPOINT

Jules is scrupulously exacting, prompt, professional, and incredibly insightful and incisive—he is fluent in narrative form/structure/ and whatever conflicts you are having or whatever elements you are missing Jules will find them and with grace and kindness inform you. If you are lucky enough to have his input on your work consider yourself very fortunate. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
—Karen F., author of TWO CROW

Jules is a very good teacher. I feel like I got a whole semester's worth of college-level writing instruction for the price of one editing package. Jules responded quickly to all my questions and comments. I found him to be respectful, polite, and knowledgeable. While providing a slew of actionable suggestions, he maintained an atmosphere of collegiality. I would recommend Jules Elmore's editorial services to any writer. Engage him earlier rather than later in the novel-writing process--you'll be glad you did.
—Jan M., author of THE MURDERS AT HOLY OAK VILLAGE

Jules surpassed my expectations. In a sea filled with editors, I'm not quite certain how I managed to find Jules my first time on Reedsy—but I am choosing to believe it is because this book is meant to be published and the universe knew I needed his help to accomplish that. Thank you, Jules. See you on my next novel!
